Lime, Ginger, and Lemongrass SorbetSidney Bensimon

At Selamat Pagi, our Balinese restaurant, lime, ginger, and lemongrass are mainstay ingredients, appearing in many dishes. We were thinking about making a sorbet that reflected some of these ingredients and wondered what would happen if we threw all of them together. Our initial taste transported us back to the lush green hills of Bali, after which we were all too disappointed to find ourselves standing in our test kitchen. Along with lemon sorbet, this might be our go-to refreshment when we desperately need to cool off.

Cooks' Note

To get 1/2 cup fresh ginger juice (or any amount that's small enough to avoid using a juicer), finely grate your ginger, wrap the resulting pulp in a tripled layer of cheesecloth, and squeeze the juice out manually.
